Private Well Testing
This past summer the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) Private Well Outreach Project undertook a private well outreach project for radioactivity in South Jersey private well water. They developed an educational pamphlet (linked here) to spread more awareness of radioactivity in South Jersey private well water and provide recommendations for private well owners to best manage
their drinking water. To help promote distribution of the pamphlet, they offered free well water testing in raw and treated water in South Jersey. A total of 19 eligible South Jersey municipalities were identified as having a high percentage (>10%) of private wells with gross alpha radioactivity.
The recruitment yielded over 260 online registrants from 12 of the eligible municipalities. Based on available resources they were able
to contact 171 registrants and test the water from 109 homes. Among the 109 homes sampled, they found 26 (24%) homes are being exposed to gross alpha radioactivity > 5 pCi/L at their tap. More project details and results are now available in a Project Summary posted on their website linked here. The project summary includes township specific results.
They plan to continue promoting awareness of radioactivity in South Jersey private well water with follow-up testing in Summer 2024. They will follow-up with homeowners that they were not able to reach this summer and will also connect with you and other partners to help spread the word.
However, their testing efforts will only be able to reach a small percentage of the at-risk homes. They need your help to continue to educate private well owners about the affordable and reasonable steps (install and maintain a water softener and how to find funding support) they can take to keep their families safe from radium in their drinking water.
